Mike Richter's All-Wagner-on-one-CD-ROM is being issued by Opera Classics
in June (no exact date yet) at www.operaclassics.com for $8.50 (!!) on the
'net, considerably more through regular catalogue purchase.  (I think one
of the conditions Mike had in turning over distribution to hold down
Internet prices to a ridiculous minimum.)

Each opera comes with complete libretto, with time-keyed links, so you can
find your place in the text by time or action.

I appended the upcoming San Francisco Ring cast to the one on Mike's
CD-ROM, just for the heck of it.

Apologies for the inconsistency about providing recording dates.  Maybe
*somebody* can fill in the gaps...:)
